We are filled for purpose not experiences. Most of the infilling work of the Spirit, most of what he prompts, are so we can serve more effectively, witness with more power and pray more intelligently. We are filled as an absolute necessity for service. When someone is filled with the Spirit, there is always a positive consequence that demonstrates the influence of the Spirit in the believers life. One of the results throughout the New Testament is that someone else always benefits.

When Jesus left for heaven he stated the best gift he could leave was the Holy Spirit. We cannot fulfil the mission of Jesus, or become more like Him, without the power of the Spirit. Jesus may have gone, but he has not disappeared. We want to people to know God better, and that requires knowing the person of the Holy Spirit. With so much misunderstanding on whether the Spirit provides any practical relevance to life today, we want to lead more than merely an encounter but a transformation towards life in the Spirit.

The post Filled appeared first on Renewal.

Water is life giving and its properties are the basis for life itself. God centrally provides for us. The Spirit is an endless resource of refreshment. John uses the metaphor of water to display the Spirit within the context of salvation that they keeps on nourishing. The inexhaustible supply oil the Spirit is freely available to all believers. After the initial flow believers are to take responsibility for the Spirit flowing through them. Water represents wisdom and teaching that flows from the Spirit and symbolises the renewing property we continually need. The Spirit cleanses, refines and prepares us for the future.

The post Living Water appeared first on Renewal.

On fire! Your on fire! You’re doing so well that is unstoppable; very enthusiastic, passion, fervent. Enthusiasm comes from the words to be ‘in God’. You are ablaze, aflame! Theologian and evangelist, John Wesley stated,  ‘I set myself on fire and people come to watch me burn.’  Fire is a state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame. In this message, we explore fire and the Holy Spirit with Pastor Jonny Lee.

The post On Fire appeared first on Renewal.

Oil is often associated with the Spirit in the Bible, the anointing was the process of a person receiving the Spirit and the authority of office and work that goes with it. What we see in the life of Jesus is the power of God through the Spirit was evidenced in his life and works. Fundamentally, those who were anointed with oil were identified as people who had been entrusted by God with important responsibilities. As we examine the characteristics of this oil as it is used in the Bible, we can start to see that this metaphor tells of the Holy spirit- it gives us a visible and tangible way to understand the invisible presence and action of the Holy Spirit upon and within the believers in the Church of Jesus Christ.

The post The Oil Will Not Run Dry appeared first on Renewal.

As one may hear the sound of the wind and see its affects we are identified with hearing the voice and work of the Spirit. It is not possible to determine when and where the Spirit will blow so we acknowledge he is supremely in charge. The awesome power of the Spirit a hurricane cannot be taken for granted, but also he works through the calm and gentleness of a breeze. Wind produces energy, air does not. Wind is strongly unpredictable. We learn through this message about the Spirit being dynamic, personal and uncontrollable. Life would stagnate without the wind and we need the Spirit in motion to keep moving us on.

The post Bubbles appeared first on Renewal.

One of the biggest questions in the Christian faith is: ‘Who is the Holy Spirit?’

What does the Bible teach us?  How can we build a relationship with the Spirit? This message will emphasise how the Spirit in the Old Testament mainly inspires individuals for special tasks, and was for a temporary period. In the New Testament the Spirit is presented as being available to all believers and remains with you always. To get to know someone we start from who they are. To get to know the Spirit we start from: The Holy Spirit is a person and a divine person. The Holy Spirit is God.
